South Citadel Cotton Plea Reaches Washington D C
The South brings a 11-tent cotton price plan to Washington with 200 leaders from Georgia to Texas. They seek a 1994 crop of 2,900,000 bales and a minimum price of 15 cents per pound, plus abolition of the cotton processing tax. The Farm Administration opposes these measures, citing concerns over inflation, power limits, and voluntary acreage reductions. Senator Smith of South Carolina leads the delegation amid ongoing debates on farm price supports and currency policy.
